In this paper, we consider a robust sensor scheduling problem which estimates the state of an uncertain process based on measurements obtained by a given set of noisy sensors, where the measurements of sensors are subject to external interference uncertainties. We formulate this problem into a minimax optimal control problem, which is equivalent to a semi-infinite programming problem with a dynamic system. A discretization method is used to solve this problem, where the computation is very large scale in general. We propose an approximation method to reduce the computational complexity. For illustration, two numerical examples are solved.

Keywords: Robust sensor fusion design, semi-infinite programming.
